Life's Even More Like That!
By Pascale Youssef


The Lebanese social life has been giving all writers and comedians some heavy materials to base their work on, but this book “Life's even more like that!" gets you to the heart of most stereotypes Lebanese characters that we run into on daily basis.

The intro is by Pierre Sadek, Lebanon's most respected political cartoonist, who draws his Lebanese character holding two earth globes and thinking to himself: "with all … I am the whole world, and the whole world is I!" This image reflects the Lebanese big egos and self-love which they are known to possess. In “Life's even more like that!” You'll see the Lebanese society in a wider comic angle of each stereotype you run into everyday and smile. You'll find the Lebanese Bridge player, a woman bored from her life and goes online every day, the Gym fanatic lady always who is working out regardless the problems she is facing in her marriage, and the Plastic Surgeon who married his work of art, in other words the woman he fabricated… “Life's even more like that!” will draw a smile on your face and giggle your senses of the society's most hilarious characters.

The book is written by Peter Grimsditch and Michael Karam, illustrated by Maya Fidawi, and published by Turning Point.
